Family Programs

We have a few exciting family socials and weekends planned where the entire family can rejuvenate and spend quality time together. Families can connect with others who understand and can relate to their experiences. Fun and engaging activities will allow kids to play and be worry free in a supportive environment. Parents may choose to join the fun, relax or talk with other parents and share ideas.

This is chance for parents to try new activities for themselves, which does not happen that often. Siblings have a chance to participate in the exciting activities together. We will provide you with housing, meals and medical support for the weekend so you can really enjoy your time away from your day to day. You will create memories that last a lifetime.

Family Junctions - Second Sunday of the Month from 2:30 - 4:30 pm at the McConnell Center in Dover, NH.

Join us for our free monthly family socials for families to connect and support each other throughout the year. You will have the opportunity to share your stories and exchange your advice over light refreshments. Please contact us if you would like to be on our email list.

All you would need to do is to jump in the car with the family and come on over. We will take care of the rest. We will provide snacks and give you the space to connect with others. Our staff will spend time with your children so as a parent you can reconnect and share your stories with other parents.
